The members of first-class tribute acts “Simply Dan” and sister band “Simply Us and Them” bring an ambitious new show to the stage: “New York State of Mind - The Music of Billy Joel”.
A long time bucket list item for front man and piano player Tom Morton, and nurtured to fruition by guitarist and seasoned band leader Mark Roadnight, this show shines a spotlight on the catalogue of one of the most acclaimed American artists and songwriters of the 20th Century - perhaps of all time. The set features songs from breakthrough albums “Piano Man” and “The Stranger” through the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s when Joel’s status was firmly established as a true American icon.
The band members are all session musicians on the London recording scene and have toured all around the world.
